I admit it. Knife play is scary. It probably requires more trust than anything else in D/s. I’ve only had one encounter with it, and oddly enough it was during my very first D/s experience. If it had been anyone other than Him I would have been petrified.
I was kneeling on all fours on the bed, back to the door, with my best panties on and nothing else. I had waited for a long time, heart pounding, having left the door ajar for Him (or in fact anyone else) to come in. I was so nervous, not knowing what to expect of the 3 days I was about to have in that hotel.
He entered the room, silent, not allowing me to make eye contact or speak. I couldn’t see what he was doing at first but then I heard the rip. He was cutting off my panties with a box cutter. First I thought “Holy crap he has a knife.” Then I thought “Dammit those are my best panties.” and finally I thought “Shit this is HOT.”
I was confused, wondering what I could possibly have thought was hot about the possibility of getting shredded to bits. Then it occurred to me that it was the ultimate definition of power exchange. I had voluntarily kneeled that day, head down, unable to see or move, while he slid the back of a cold steel blade against my pale skin. I trusted Him completely. In fact I had no choice but to trust. It was my first truly submissive act. It was the beginning of the most thoroughly erotic experience I had ever had or have had since.
I have mentioned my conservative upbringing before. The stark contrast of what I was now a part of to what I was taught growing up was astounding. I am no longer a lady when the doors close, I am a whore. I will admit the thought of how shocking this behavior would be to my family and friends it part of the excitement. It is my dirty little secret.
The other, more compelling part of this new life is the ability and the willingness to surrender myself completely to Him. The undeniable need to be controlled by Him, the mixture of trust, fear and awe I feel in His presence.
The hours and days that followed that were a mind-blowing awakening. The combination of fear, respect and arousal were intoxicating. To this day I get wet at a mere word from Him, even from our most basic conversations. I am especially aroused at the thought of doing it all again. I’m sure there are more adventures to come, more trust to be required, and more chances for me to give of myself. I will do my best to please Him, to be whatever and whoever He wants me to be.
This is what it’s all about. I get it now. I surrender eagerly. And to think, it all started with a knife.
